This video is also very good as he shows off what you can whereas Biffa just shows every building -

Sure, but honestly, I find the decision to make 2 minute videos a bit annoying. This makes it difficult to see context. It looks like the marketing department won out on this. It definitely keeps the buzz going if you have something new every day, but it takes longer to get to the videos than to watch them. The Biffa video is still double the length of all the others together. Of course, I have enough time to watch these things and don't have to rely on a restroom break to get my info.

Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to trying the shiny new toys out.

I imagine they want the streams to be where you'd go for the more detailed look, which would work if they were a bit more structured and the streamers knew more about the game. Sadly they aren't that used to playing the game and mess up fairly often. One of the streams talked about the traffic AI and said things that are just flat out wrong. It's a shame, but I'm just happy we aren't left with only the streams as official stuff.

Heh, yes, those streams. I like how the guy nearly killed his fledgling city by placing a one-way tollbooth on a two-way road. Countless people were pointing this out, but it took ages until he understood what was meant. He was even experimenting with a bypass and still didn't notice what was wrong. Then he was "fixing traffic issues with a roundabout". He placed a roundabout, but didn't connect the road that caused the issues to it, but directly to the main road. Traffic flow is still worse than before because he produced a small road segment that causes all through traffic to come to a complete stop. I looked into yesterday's video, where he mixed up service area with the garbage-like system the postal vans use. I really can't watch that stuff.

And another from Biffa this time starting from scratch on a new city, is 30 minutes long so be prepared..

Well, here's the last tutorial with the free stuff:

I like how you can now see what the cargo trains have loaded, at least in part.

If I'm not mistaken, the new "Make Historic" feature could render the "Control Building Level-up" mod obsolete.
